Choosing an AI Inquiry System for Small and Mid-Sized Exporters: Subscription, Project-Based or Fully Managed?

When buying an AI system for inquiry reception, the pricing model alone does not decide fit. First spell out who configures it, who maintains it and what you can take with you when you leave.

How the three models compare

Subscription suits teams willing to maintain knowledge and processes themselves; check the fees once seats, conversations or usage limits are exceeded. Project-based suits system integration and special deployment needs, but acceptance and later upgrades should be agreed. Fully managed includes configuration and ongoing tuning in the service, and needs clear responsibility for routine updates, fixes and response. Singoo DeepSales follows a fully managed approach that should be assessed against the actual service scope.

Budget items you cannot leave out

• Who prepares and who updates product materials and quote rules.
• Who bears the platform message and template fees for WhatsApp and similar channels.
• How human takeover and approvals by sales reps are configured.
• Whether leads, conversations, tags and knowledge can be exported.
• How charges work when you add channels, languages or inquiry volume.

Estimate the full year using your company’s real monthly inquiry volume, then test the options with the same materials. When inquiries are few and the team can handle them in time, a complex fully managed service may not be necessary.

It usually suits companies with clear system integration and customization needs.

Does fully managed include all channel fees?

Do not assume so; check the contract item by item.
